About the Champaign Center Partnership
The Champaign Center Partnershipis a 501c6 not-for-profit organization founded in 2010 through a merger of the Champaign Downtown Association and the Campustown Business Group. This partnership between the two historic commercial centers of the community opened a new chapter in joint marketing and cooperation between the areas. Included in this partnership is the newest district "Midtown".
This central commercial area along University Avenue and First Street links both Downtown and Campustown through the newly complete Boneyard Second Street Reach.
The goals of the organization are to jointly market the center city to not only the residents of Champaign and Urbana but to a regional and national market. It is our belief that working together will make our independent retailers stronger.
We look forward to seeing you in the Center City!
